DUS-test
A plant variety can be approved only if it is distinct, stable and sufficiently uniform (DUS).
The DUS-test is carried out abroad, on behalf of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. There are different deadlines for registration and submission of plant material depending on the country in which the DUS-test is to be carried out and the species in question.
Guidelines for DUS testing of the various plant species are drawn up by the CPVO (Community Plant Variety Office) and UPOV (International Union for the Protection of new Varieties of Plants).
